Disney takes us back to Pride Rock in the African savanna for this visually spectacular, photo-realistic re-telling of the 1994 animated favourite. An all-star cast of voice actors brings the story of Simba, Mufasa, and Scar back to life, featuring the return of classic songs from the original as well as a few new ones.
